News of Trump's proposed parade spurred a range of reactions, with several Republicans and Democrats alike raising concerns about the millions of dollars that would be incurred transporting military equipment to the nation's capital at a time when the military's top brass have been lobbying Congress for more military funding.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the request to the military.

"President Trump is incredibly supportive of America's great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe", Sanders said.

The Washington Post reported that Trump has expressed interest in such a parade since before he took office but grew more committed when he witnessed the Bastille Day celebration in France, which featured a large military parade.

Among their objections: Military parades have traditionally been the hallmarks of totalitarian regimes, appearing in the parade would be an unwelcome distraction for rank-and-file servicemembers and it would make it seem like the military is promoting the president and not serving the Constitution.
